Digital Bros has entered into an agreement with Chinese developer Chengdu Lingze Technology Co. Ltd to acquire the Intellectual Property rights relating to the video game Wuchang: Fallen Feathers for a total consideration of RMB 32 million (approximately Euro 4 million). 

Milan – April 28th, 2026 – Digital Bros Group (DIB:MI), a video game company listed on the Euronext STAR Milan (ISIN: IT0001469995) and included in the FTSE Italia Small Cap index, announces that it has entered into an agreement with Chinese developer Chengdu Lingze Technology Co. Ltd. (“Leenzee”) to acquire the intellectual property rights (“the IP”) related to the video game Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (“the Transaction”).

The Transaction secures full ownership of the IP for the Group, enabling full retention of the value generated throughout its lifecycle and eliminating any future royalty obligations to the developer. The total consideration amounts to RMB 32 million (approximately Euro 4 million), that will be funded through the Group’s available credit lines.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, developed by Leenzee and published by the Group’s subsidiary 505 Games, is a soulslike action RPG set in the land of Shu during the dark and tumultuous late Ming Dynasty. The product was launched on July 24, 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and was made available through the subscription service Xbox Game Pass.

The game demonstrated strong commercial traction, reaching the top position in Steam’s Global Top Sellers chart ahead of release and attracting over 130,000 concurrent users on Steam on launch day. As of March 31, 2026, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has sold over 1 million units, generating more than Euro 30 million in revenues (net of tax duties and commissions), confirming the strength of the product and its long-term potential. The collaboration with Leenzee has been positive and constructive to this day, with no outstanding economic disputes between the parties.

Securing the IP will enhance the Group’s ability to make timely decisions regarding its future development and related investments.

The Transaction is consistent with the Group’s strategy of increasing the share of fully owned intellectual property, supporting margin expansion and enhancing long-term value creation.

The Group does not expect the acquisition to have a significant impact on the business outlook for the current fiscal year previously disclosed to the market.

The Road Of Dust And Sorrow Launches Debut Demo

Macclesfield, UK – 28 April, 2025  

Amidst the chaos of the apocalypse, you have to hold your loved ones close.  Silver Lining Interactive and Painted Black Games are proud to invite players to a different kind of desolation. The playabledemo for The Road of Dust and Sorrow is available now on Steam and Itch.io, offering a unique blend of story-driven horror, and the tender, quiet nostalgia of a world left behind.

A Love Letter to Pixel Art
While heavily reminiscent of the emotional weight of The Last of Us and the mechanical tension of mid-90s survival classics, The Road of Dust and Sorrow carves its own path through stunning, handcrafted pixel art. Every decaying street and blood-splattered corridor is rendered with a meticulous level of detail that finds beauty in the breakdown – evokingan almost cozy-horror feeling.

Cozy The Last of Us

The Road of Dust and Sorrow draws inspiration from mid-90s classics but infuses them with a modern, soulful focus on the bond between parent and child. As Katherine, you navigate a world of haunting beauty and danger while protecting your daughter, Ava, from creatures driven by a primal hunger. By shifting the focus from mindless carnage to story-driven survival, the game blurs the line between necessity and cruelty, forcing you to wonder just how far is too far when protecting the only thing you have left.

“This project is our heart,” says Roman, Head Developer at Painted Black Games. “We’ve learned that when the world feels uncertain, you find strength in those you love. We built this game on that belief, and we hope our players feel it too.’’

About The Road of Dust and Sorrow

The Road of Dust and Sorrow is a tense, story-driven pixel art horror inspired by ’90s classics. Survive a world gone wrong and protect what matters most: your daughter.

Dive into a story-driven survival-horror adventure inspired by classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. A cure designed to end famine became humanity’s ruin. The failed experiment twisted people into feral creatures called Dusters, driven by primal hunger. Katherine and her daughter Ava roam the remnants of civilization, searching for a safer future. Their journey draws the attention of a Preacher and his mysterious cult, driven by an ancient hunger, they see humans as fertile soil.

A FALLEN WORLD

Streets lie abandoned, buildings rot from the inside out, and vegetation is growing back at an accelerated rate. Traces of the past linger, in homes – barricaded for protection, offices with supplies scattered, and stores picked clean of supplies. Humanity is shaped by desperation, how far will you go to survive?

FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE

Claw your way through decaying streets, bloodthirsty monsters, locked rooms, and forgotten corridors. Solve environmental puzzles, uncover hidden paths, and survive encounters with feral Dusters for a chance to reach safety. Proceed with caution every door can lead to salvation… or devastation.

PROTECT WHAT MATTERS MOST

Protect Ava at all cost. The world can die but she must live. Every step draws you deeper into a place that wants you gone. No one will save you, but you can fight. You can run. You can try to get her to safety.

ArenaNet’s Beloved MMORPG to be Playable Across Phones, Tablets, and PC

BELLEVUE, WA – April 28, 2026 – The critically acclaimed MMORPG Guild Wars® Reforged launches on iOS and Android devices this summer with optimized UI and controls. The game will be available to download for free as an ad-supported client in which players will have access to the original Prophecies^TM campaign, while the rest of the game’s expansion content will be available for purchase. Each campaign’s paid version (including Prophecies) can be purchased as a standalone add-on for £6.49, which will allow players to log into their ArenaNet accounts and sync their characters and progress across devices, enable chat and trading, and remove ads. The Eye of the North^TM expansion and Bonus Mission Pack will also be available on mobile for £8.99 and £5.49, respectively. Players who already own Guild Wars Reforged and have an existing ArenaNet account can log in on their mobile device and sync their purchases and progress to the ad-free version with no additional purchases necessary. Mobile players who have created Apple or Google accounts may optionally associate an email address with the account, which allows them to login and play on PC, with progress synchronized across devices.

Pre-registration is available now on the Google Play game page for Guild Wars Reforged, withApple App Store to follow soon. The mobile version of the game will enter a soft launch period in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the Philippines before wider release later this year.

A new trailer showcasing Guild Wars Reforged on mobile can be viewed below.

Additionally, a new update celebrating today’s 21^st anniversary of the original launch of Guild Wars introduces a new post-Searing dungeon with a set of new quests and an unlockable new Mesmer hero, Ghost of Althea.

Originally developed for Windows PCs by Bellevue, WA-based studio ArenaNet® in 2005, Guild Wars went on to win numerous awards and transform the MMORPG landscape with its innovative subscription-fee-free business model. In 2025, in association with co-development partner 2weeks, the game was relaunched as Guild Wars Reforged to renewed acclaim and interest, seeing a 500% increase in players logging in during launch week. 

Guild Wars Reforged added controller support, improved in-game functionality via high-DPI support for modern high-resolution monitors, new HD skill icons, rendering improvements like new antialiasing options, ambient occlusion, enhanced bloom, more font size options for game text, enhanced 3D environmental audio, and a new quest-tracker to help players navigate to their next adventure. In the months following, the game has received a series of free updates for all players that added new challenging game modes and improved quality of life adjustments.  

“Together with 2weeks, we used our experience building the Steam and Steam Deck experience to gain detailed knowledge of the internal systems of the game,” said game director Stephen Clarke-Willson. “That deep dive into the user interface code has been rolled into rebuilding the user experience for mobile platforms. Meanwhile we have also been improving the onboarding experience in the “Pre-Searing” portion of the Prophecies Campaign.  One very cool thing is that mobile players and PC players will play together on the same servers, and player progress will be automatically ported between mobile and PC.”

“When we were first working on the original Guild Wars way back in the early 2000s I never imagined we’d be playing the game 20 years later on cell phones,” said Brandon Dillon, co-founder of 2weeks. “The game has aged remarkably well and delivering the fans continuous access to their accounts, characters, and memories is a testament to the game’s engineering and forward-looking development support.”
